Our government has far too much power

October 22, 2013

For the last four years the tea party has been made fun of, faced allegations of racism and violence without evidence, and completely ignored. Last year the media claimed the tea party was dead, then recently they have been given the power to shut down the entire government. Amazing but brief history, all untrue and unproven.

What is becoming increasingly obvious is that we are living in a time unprecedented in U.S. history. Mainly, those in power are operating as an oligarchy more powerful than any before in history. At no time has any government had as much power as this one does for surveillance and involvement in every aspect of life, and the elites in power are ruling without a care for the masses. Passing laws but exempting themselves is becoming common practice. Shutting down the government but picking and choosing what gets to stay open, and who gets paid is another example.

They decide what is considered essential and what isn't. They make decisions that affect millions based on what is politically expedient to themselves. Those rulers of ours make life and death decisions without concern or guilt.

It is truly remarkable to be watching this happening, and what makes it unique in U.S. history is that the media is no longer watches or points out these discrepancies. Instead they are complicit and protecting the oligarchy. Even in countries with no free speech, there are brave reporters and journalists who risk their lives to get the word out of what is going on. Here, where the media is protected by our Constitution, they are willingly participating. Truly remarkable.
